Hi there, My name is Jennifer Franzin. Jenn to anyone that knows me. I am the face behind Pretty Pixels Photography. I am a mother to three ‘busy bees’, photographer & artist, lover of the natural world, adventurer, explorer, dreamer and chai drinking junkie.
Since I was a child, I have always loved taking pictures, as I grew I became fascinated by photography and it’s endless possibilities. For me, there is no greater joy than being able to capture a moment in time and share it with the world. I truly have two main passions, first – my children and second – photography. My love for both of these passions is truly insurmountable. I live for, the real, the raw, the beautiful heart wrenching moments, seeking out the beauty that others too often miss. Every time I pick up my camera, I see something new, learn, grow my abilities and yet each time it is as though I am seeing things for the first time.
The camera is a part of who I am, photography a part of my soul, my being. To know me is to know my passion. I truly cannot wait to see where this adventure will carry me next.

I chose this weeks theme to take it in a direction that is near and dear to my heart. I am a huge lover of literature and often select poems, quotes and parts of stories to accompany my work. For me, the words will often speak to my heart just as much as an image does. The inspiration of the words will often lead me to go out and shoot for it.
